The much awaited Indian Premier League (IPL) is going to start from tomorrow, Friday 18th April, 2008. Opening ceremony will be held on Friday to launch the inaugural edition of the Twenty20 tournament.
The organisers are planning to switch off the floodlights at the Chinnaswamy Stadium before the first match between Dravid's Bangalore Royal Challengers and Ganguly's Kolkata Knight Riders. Rahul Dravid and Saurav Ganguly will face each other as captain.
Bangalore is also banking on 12 cheerleaders from the Washington Redksins, the 'First Ladies of American Football', to draw more fans to the stadium.
Bangalore Royal Challengers, which is owned by Vijay Mallya, the business tycoon, is playing a key role in organising the opening ceremony on their home ground in association with the Karnataka State Cricket Association and the IPL.
